Sex Ed - The Evolution

Now people...I know you remember the previous blogs on sex ed...and really I never thought I would hear anything to top what i heard in those Form 5 classes BUT this term - Form 2's are being introduced to reproduction and WOWWWWWWWWW I can't help but laugh. I started off with a simple definition of reproduction or rather a purpose : "Reproduction is the process that ensures continuity or the survival of a species."

So I went on to say that since sexual reproduction is our means of facilitating reproduction - then the purpose of sex is for reproduction right? They say..."yeahhhhhh..."

I say "right. So then, according to our definition, humans should only have sex if the aim is have a baby. right?"

They say "ummmmmm......"

LOL

Wait it gets better.

LOL

So I say - "so if we think of sex as a light switch whereby everytime you have sex you flick the switch and when u see light that would be the baby - you shouldn't really do it unless you planning to have a baby right?"

Here it comes:

1. "So..ummm..Miss...but ent you does do it just for so?"

2. "But Miss...what if the bulb blow?"

3. "Or if it eh have no current Miss?"

4. "Miss so you saying just because we have the equipment doh mean we should be using it?"

5. "SO Miss then if everybody know that then the only people having sex should be ole people?"

6. "Miss I doh feel yuh should only have sex to get chile - yuh should have it to feel good too..ent?"

After answering those questions and refocusing the discussion I forged on to the structure of the Male Reproductive System. We get to the description of the urethra and penis and it says it scientific terms that men cannot "multitask" hehehe... so I ask..so this means what people? That men can't do what an what at the same time?

Hand goes up in the air.

"Missssss me!!!!!!"

"Yes Kelly."

"Miss dey cyar pee and break at the same time."

" 'Pee' and 'break'? I don't know those terms. What do you mean?"

"Miss...they can't...Urinate and...hmmmm...sperminate at the same time."

LOL

"Kelly...the word is ejaculate hunny. Write it down."

LOL

Hear nah...it was a wonderful experience - I cannot even BEGIN to blog about all the interesting ideas my kids had. Different from the form 5 discussion though was the experience. I knew from just what they said that, though they hot - dey eh really doing nothin yet. YET. The innocence is still clear.

Ok one for the road. After discussing the male reproductive system.

"So Miss... when we get to see pictures?"

Gears up!

Well..the vacation has ended - and to be honest I can't wait to go back out to school. Contrary to my students' beliefs- we teachers DO NOT live in jars - and do indeed have lives. Lives that I must admit can be a bit frustrating at times - so I am happy to go back to my safe world of mayhem that is the school system. 

I'm a bit nervous about this term - my first batch of kids will have CXC and CAPE exams- I am so anxious and excited for them. Despite what anyone says teachers are measured on the performance of students. Plain fact. If de chirren getting 1's - de teacher could teach. If dey gettin 4's she cyar teach shit. Make sense. I mean you  cyar claim to be a carpenter - yet not for all de doubles in Curepe you can't build a bench....somethin's gotta give. 

Well that's it for now.

Note to self: Where are all the hot looking young male teachers? No seriously...WHERE? If you know hit me up - I  APPLYIN FOR A TRANSFER! LOL 

Exhaling...

Well we're at the end of another term and WHEW! I survived! As I get more and more into teaching I am realizing more and more just how deep this hole goes...

I watched as my exam students went through, what I call "burn out" where they refused to learn anything more. They're like "Miss....PLEASE no more!!!!!"

I watched as clueless parents STILL insisted that their child is not wrong. They're like "Who Lewis??? He would NEVER!"

I watched as some individuals who claim to and get paid to be teachers took advantage of the "system". Work to rule? Maybe. They're like "Steups...whatever yes."

The general concern I had for my students has deepened into genuine care and love even. Not for all though...eh eh..some of dem bitches just evil! But in  some cases, its really heartbreaking to see them searching for someone - anyone to look up to. And usually, whether we want to be or not - it ends up being us. Great.

All in all the term was TIRING. I cannot say that I was not counting down the days to Easter vacation. Between SBAs, Mock exams, end of term exams...it wasn't easy at times. So the kids are home - the vacation is here and... beach here I come?
